Dhaka to press for return of Nur Hossain

Talks with Indian home secy today

Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh is likely to request New Delhi to hand over Nur Hossain, the alleged mastermind of the seven murders in Narayanganj, at the three-day long home secretary-level talks between Bangladesh and India beginning today.
The meeting is also expected to address issues like cross-border crimes, land boundary agreement and killing along the border.
The secretary-level meeting, 15th of its kind between the two countries, will be held at Hotel Sonargoan.
Indian Home Secretary Anil Goswami and Senior Bangladesh Home Secretary Mozammel Haque Khan each will lead the 13-member representatives of their respective sides at the meeting.
Both sides would review the progress of ratification and implementation of some
protocols and agreements signed between the two countries earlier, home ministry sources said.
Bangladesh will urge India to ratify the 1974 Land Boundary Agreement and the Land Boundary Protocol, transfer of enclaves and demarcation of 6.5 km of land boundary as soon as possible, sources added.
India is yet to ratify the agreements though it assured Dhaka it was working on the issue and was expecting to place it for ratification in the next parliament session. The ratification would facilitate the transfer of enclaves
and demarcation of 6.5 km of land boundary between the two neighbours.
Dhaka would strongly protest the firing, killing and torture of Bangladeshi citizens along the border, and smuggling of arms, drugs and other contraband elements from India. It will also urge India to amend the Revised Travel Arrangement (RTA) to ease visa complexity, said the official requesting anonymity.
Besides, the home secretaries would also discuss the Interpol mechanism, new or reopening of immigration points, construction of fencing within
150 yards of international border, and human trafficking, the sources added.
During the talks, both sides will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on bilateral cooperation for prevention of human trafficking and rescue and rehabilitation of the victims.
The last meeting was held in New Delhi on July 19 last year where the two home secretaries reaffirmed their commitment not to allow the territory of either country to be used for any activity inimical to each other's interests.
A meeting of the India-Bangladesh joint working group will also be held today at the same place.
